Consider This

Naming your house should be an enjoyable and beneficial experience, but the actual choice of name should receive serious consideration.

A good starting point in naming your house is to ensure you’re not duplicating a name that already exists in your local area or post-code area – this could cause problems. Walk the streets, see what names are already in use, and if there are any constants or common themes to the house names in your area.

Why not do some research? Are their any local geographical features that could be reflected in your choice of name? Is there anything of historical significance? A look at the old maps in your local reference library could bring that unique idea to mind.

Ideally you want a name to be proud of and that has some local or personal significance. A new house name should be unique and of relevance to you or the area. Above all, any new name should be suitable and well-chosen.
